how can I change to a simpler gui from the command line prior to running startx?
I've wondered more than once why finding a simple way to start the non-default DM seems so difficult to find. I looked again after first your post for well over an hour without finding a direct way.
A relatively simple indirect one that works in 11.2 is to create ~/.xinitrc containing e.g. 'exec icewm', which if exists will cause IceWM to start as a result of running startx.
from runlevel 3 startx /usr/bin/icewm -- :0& or your choise of window manager -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
